Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following hormones causes the secretion of LH?

• A. Growth hormone
• B. FSH
• C. Thymosin
• D. GnRH

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

GnRH

(A) GH or STH stimulates body growth. Hyposecretion of this hormone leads to dwarfism. Hypersecretion will lead to gigantism.

(B) FSH stimulates growth and development of the ovarian follicles in females.

(C) Thymosin is peptide hormone secreted by the thymus.

(D) GnRH or gonadotropin-releasing hormone is a hormone responsible for the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutenizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary.

So the correct answer is GnRH.
